Linford Christie Plyometric Training

[mrhuge815]

He was before his time. A specimen.

[coulthard1984]

amazing..

[Balzzar]

That is insane!

[lucabadoer1]

Why is he naked at 0:30 ?!

[JUNKGEE83]

he must be so injury resistant. if I did a work-out like that I would be stuck in wheel chair the entire next week.

[nikpourvaliseh]

as always Ron was there

[takeitorleaveit304]

is he naked

[SuperSantogold]

Linford rabbit that on legged is amazing.

[dolak1919]

Christie - amazing talent!!!

[byKamel]

Nice one!

I wonder what the height of those hurdles is. I'd like to construct some hurdles and begin training :)

Very useful movie!

[Helios601]

nwanyidimma- hes already pissed hot!! duh

[Helios601]

lol listen to all the naive morons who thinks these assholes are clean! none of you have been exposed to any competitive sport, let alone top flight sport, as for you nwanyidimma, hes already pissed you f'n fool, thats reason enough to suggest he's been a gear user all his days, even now!!! sport is awash with peds and theres fuckall you can do, half the shit they take you cant even test for!!!!!!! and they know how to cycle them. The day I look upto these wankers is the day I cut my head of.

[nick1177]

@Helios601 why don't you go cut your head off anyway.

[soulinthewall77]

Those are real life super-human skills. Amazing. I'd be lucky if I could do 1/10th of anything he did. :)

[111colm13]

i wonder was he clean.

[dolak1919]

@111colm13

yeah... he washed.

Rest doesn't matter

[MicahLeviClark]

He's was a beast but only 20.4 in the 200m? Guess he didn't train for speed endurance!

[bossofalltime]

@MicahLeviClark Linford ran 20.09 for 200m, held Indoor World Record at one time with 20.25 which is probably more impressive than his outdoor PR (Indoor 200m possibly about 0.30 slower than outdoors)

[nwanyidimma]

@Helios601: How can you say "he was also a steroid user FACT!" when you haven't carried out any investigation to establish this for yourself? His case is too complex to so easily believe all you hear.

During his entire career he was clean, but it's when he retired he decided to start doping!...not likely.

Steroids are prescribed in numerous prescriptions daily!, as earlier stated his case is too complex and more to the point you DON'T have all the facts so please reserve judgement till you do!

[dolak1919]

@nwanyidimma

His critic - John McVicar was convicted and jailed for armed robbery! (before becoming journalist!)

Had to pay Christie 40,000 pounds for damages! Do you need anymore???!

While deciding Christie's future, two judges were asleep!

Stian Grimseth (weightlifting) got for same offence only 6 months ban!

Christie got life ban!

Somebody ran private agenda here against Christie:-(

[biglittlejujitsuman]

@dolak1919 possibly but your also ignoring all circumstance in christies case like the fact he wen from running 10.7 to 10.8 one year and then suddenly at the age of like 27 he runs 10 flat. very suspect and maybe tht is why they had an agenda. of course that doesnt mean anything without proof

[asacestt]

The white guy is just annoying

[fadarrell]

Christie was born in Saint Andrew, Jamaica, where he was brought up by his grandmother. At the age of seven he followed his parents, who had emigrated to Acton, London, England, five years before. He was educated at Henry Compton Secondary School in Fulham, London and excelled in P.E.. He also joined the Air Training Corps in 1978, 336 (Hammersmith) Squadron. He did not take up athletics seriously until he was 19.

[Helios601]

he was also a steroid user-FACT

[pharry4life]

@Helios601 Fuck off hater, steroids dont enable you to do these sort of athletic feats. I assume you are talking about some lame ass positive test when he basically retired. He is an olympic gold medal champion, his name will be in the books long after he is gone-whats your legacy?

[Jamerio3D]

Him, Colin jackson, Roger Black, Sally gunnel, Jonathan Edwards etc were amazing for the UK back in the 90's.

We could really push countries with a population a 10 times ours.

[nwanyidimma]

He is such an inspiration, he's one of my inspirations anyway regardless of what logoc, the bbc or anyone else says

[wolf5120]

this guy is superfast, he makes fast people look slow

[cheeseybred]

This man is pretty fast, where is he from and how old is he?

[scotland1989able]

@cheeseybred hes from england and hes pretty old now this was in the 90's

[moneybody1]

@scotland1989able I may be wrong but I thought he was from Jamaica originally but competed for England??

[scotland1989able]

@moneybody1 yeah ure probly right. hes stil old now though

[jlsrules101]

@cheeseybred he is 50 now

[virelly]

There are many who do that but the difference is that the use of doping and its huge muscle mass and reveal what they discovered and remove him from the track proves it.

He is not a parameter of fair play and times are of questionable master. IAAF says.

It is a real winner

[davisreardon]

Christ he is like a bloody aircraft.

[ScreenFlavour]

i met him and darren campbell today at a sports event. really cool guys :)

[connymat]

Jesus!! thats impressive!! 

[flyersfan993]

wait is he naked?

[connymat]

@flyersfan993 I guess its warm.

[Assasins03]

Now Bolt is faster than him ? 

[hoopbreaker]

amazing...

[Rapidmeat]

Love it!

[TheHamish1989]

thats fukin powerful like!!!! does any1 no what he does for his shoulders? like to get em that broad and big?

[Mr5Morrow]

mane.....



[FoeverDirt]

wow I cant even run that fast on one leg, let alone do all those jumps while on one leg. Shit.

[LittleMegha]

siiiiiiick!



[thabest1995]

That is one of the most beautiful strides I've ever seen.

[gstyleceo36]

thats an athletic mutha fucka

[biscuitmancollin]

richtwelve, the man sprinting is a 110 meter hurdler named Mark McCoy.

[ryanjfinnerty]

the mans a legend simple as!

[dan32113]

@ryanjfinnerty Linford christie is a drugs cheat! found with 100 times the normal level of Nandolone in his body but denies anything wrong! How did it get in your blood then Christie? he was also caught in the Seoul Olympics taking Pseudoephedrine! Legend my ass, cheating cunt & a disgrace to Britian more like. Or do we want children to think taking drugs to win is the correct thing to do!

[JeppeKroghSimonsen]

@dan32113 First: Your right! Second: Technique has nothing to do with drugs, so this is still impressive!!

[mojomatt176]

@dan32113 i love drugs :)

[kouznetsov]

a gift of physical proportions

[HereandNowTV]

wow, he is QUICK!

[TwinFraser]

that is just sick!!! wish i could do that!! a man can dream though.......

[richtwelve]

im not sure if the guy sprinting is linford

[Sh0ebakA]

HOLY CRAP. When he started running OMFG i wish i could run like that

[CopsUrMasterAndLord]

Take your dianbol. It's the breakfast of champions.

[olympussound]

hes faster on one leg than i am on two

[mrcatohead]

he has a gigantic arse

[m1kasd]

grammar*

[filipeunas]

IM-PRE-SSI-VE

[beaniecool]

Wow! He makes it look very easy. After a 400's, I am wiped out. And, those hurdles are deceivingly VERY high. What an athlete.

[willis1116]

Holy shit this guy is crazy fast and hes not even trying lol.

[Sdelosinfiernos]

I want to train like that!!

[losidan]

Superb watch....it really gives an appreciation of the incredible speed these guys achieve that the usual shot on athletic meets just doesnt convey.

[sniperboy102]

is sprinting considered plyomtric

[maxymyllyon]

nope, it's anaerobic

[shef204]

Yep sprinting is considered plyometric... Plyometric training is explosice/ballistic (bounding, hopping etc) exercises but only when the foot contact time is below 200ms. The main aim of plyometric training is to increase RFD (rate of force development). Sprint foot contact times are below 200ms. Therefore plyometric.

[sniperboy102]

Thank you

[Denmark1534]

Is it true that in a plyometric workout the work/rest ration should be 1:10 for ins-tense if my set takes 30 seconds I have to take a 5 minute break to let my fast twitch muscles heal enough or should it just be like a heavy weight training workout where I just take a 2 minute break and I'm good !!! I started plyometrics 2 weeks ago and I really want to do it right

[harris1001]

not sure, but it is considered as power training.

[drav6]

yes it is.

[dat2704]

My god, these guys are so fast!!! this video motivates me to train even harder!

[Efemral]

That hopping one, with just one leg, over the hurdles, is simply amazing.

[wikichris]

If Linford were still running he'd bust Usain Bolt's little ass. 9.3 seconds baby!

[edj66]

I disagree entirely.

[Aarontlondon]

Err no

[LiveAthletics]

...Don't you think he would have kept running if that were possible...?

[wikichris]

Christie was part of a Olympic conspiracy to end his career because they knew that soon he'd be running sub-9 second times and would render the competition useless. Why don't you believe me?!

[LiveAthletics]

Because Usain is already well down the sub 9.5 path and I haven't seen any conspiracies ending his career...

[TomSouthLondon]

@wikichris sub 9 lol...come on now

[ThePeoplesClub7]

What a legend

[IrishMarc1]

Thats pretty awesome.

[michimichimichimichi]

thats not difficult

[Danebrogen]

Steroids :P

[yungflyandflashy12]

beast

[molinobeer]

the guy at 1:00 isnt' him!!

[hannesser]

That's Mark McKoy, the 1992 110 mH olympic champion.

[speedyslime93]

i wouldnt disagree at this stage, they are both phenomenal athletes, but what makes you say it is Mckoy?

[999thomas999]

Amazing that one leg hopping

[zzhn]

he is british too :)

[dJoeG111]

Jamaican born though.

[cortezforever]

So is ben johnson. If only they didn't f wid them drugs if they even did. That would have made three great jamaican runners.

[dJoeG111]

Three, what about powell?

[IgorNeverDies]

Thats one big niggah

[cortezforever]

Hahaha... funny.

[gremby]

steroids

[Stefano1Ryuuzaki1]

NIce. He is really fast but.... who exactly is he? This is the first time that I have heard of him!

[bossofalltime]

1992 Olympic Champion 100m

1993 World Champion 100m

1986, 1990 & 1994 European Champion 100m

1990 & 1994 Commonwealth Champion 100m

PRs = 60m 6.47 (1995), 100m 9.87 (1993), 200m (20.09)

[BreuckelensFinest]

@bossofalltime Don't forget he was 38 yrs young when he became the first man to run under 10 seconds on the continent of Africa. I believe he ran a 9.98 seconds. Remarkable! I am American and he was one of my favorite runners of all time. Great Champion.

[theman2017inc]

@bossofalltime And now he's on GET ME OUT OF HERE??? COME ON, he doesn't need to do it... :-(

If he need to get ££££££ like Colin Jackson he could've done STRICTLY!!!!

[bossofalltime]

@theman2017inc LOL Linford on Strictly would be funny

[Madmanin]

Quite fast, and he aint even as fast as Powell or Bolt... and he did get banned for 2 years for performance enhancers.

[pharry4life]

Powell is a choker. Christie had a superior career to Powell, no one will remember Powell in 20 years but an Olympic 100m Gold is forever. Christie was a bad ass, a real competitor and he always showed up when the pressure was on.

[Madmanin]

Wait, wait, Powell's got shit loads of medals. Also, he's *supposedly* clean, until proven opposite, so that makes him kinda more...um... I don't know, talented?

[pharry4life]

Powell IS more talented. I agree. But Christie was a much much better competitor based on Powells career to date. LC stood up to the US sprinting might and stared it down. Powell is easily intimidated and I cant see him getting an individual gold ever now Bolt is on the scene. As for the drugs chat, whatever-drugs dont give you the winning mentality LC always had, plus LC trained much harder than Powell ever has.

[Madmanin]

Indeed, they always said talent is just a bonus to hard work. Strong spirit, strong body.

[ROMPERSTOMPER21]

yeh powells top class, but wen its mattered hes come up short!!! its definately a confidence thing, he runs on the curcuits n runs like 9.8s n 9.7s looken comfortable, then the finals.....his head goes. the beleive isnt there i dont think! that was something christie had in abundance!

[lshannon41]

At the end of the day LC's legacy will always be overshadowed by the fact that he cheated, shame really.

[ThomasRiekki]

I agree with some of what you said. But how are you comparing their training? Do you specifically know their detailed yearly training programs?

[NewMoneyGuy]

I cannot believe he hopped those hurdles at that speed! Plus if those were standard height then it's even more amazing.

[Wiegieboard]

Look at that acceleration at the end!! WOW!

[ronMexico121]

Wow he's quick!

It's all about the power that the leg and foot push INTO the ground with. You can see it after he jumps that last hurdle.

When you're watching sprinters, don't look at how fast their legs turnover - look at how much ground the sprinter as a whole covers.

[13Azzinoth37]

Elite sprinters also have superior technique.

[bossofalltime]

Yep, force application with one leg with the other leg recovering through.

[Ur1qaN]

cool.

[SuperEliteTim]

The Panther always was elite. This is awesome

[Wcableguy]

dude he looks fast

[kevino999]

3rd U18 britsh powerliftin champ in the 75kg weight class weighin in at 69.

dats 1 more den u LOL

[kevino999]

bulgarian property-pretty fuckin boring i wuld say

[training14]

wow!!!!! ya he quick after that last hurdle

[bodaggin]

his acceleration after the last hurd is thru the roof!!

[silexent]

Notice how he lands flat-footed, impressive spring and power.

[kevino999]

tnsandland

Why would i want 2 defend a drugs cheat who got caught AFTER he came back from retirement?

mayb coz his experience 4 sprinting is invaluable? dats probably why he coaches the top sprinters at brunel university.Dats right-u working class bastard wouldnt know dat. hes produced CLEAN athletes from der like montell douglas.

Hes now an AMBASSADOR for sport.

Hes one of the only Great britain Sprinters to go under 10 seconds?

so yeh-u aint got nothing cept bein fuckin homeless

[tnsandland]

kevin999

Hahahahahaha!! Thanks pal, you just proved my point, PERFECTLY!! LOL!!!

[kevino999]

lol u jus contradicted urself by sayin hes a good guy not bad guy.

ur comments r bullshit m8. the end-fuck wastin my time replyin 2 u

[tnsandland]

as that meant for me?! What the HELL are you talking about, seriously? Also, before you start accusing people of 'contradicting themselves', try looking at your own messages pal... "the end-fuck wastin my time replyin 2 u"!! Thick cunt. That's always the easy way out of an argument!! p.s. Are you a nigger?

[WemoOnGuitar]

haha this guys a tank

[mc1703]

juice

[LazersFromJimmy]

look how quickly national treasure linford changes speed around .20 secs! impressive.

[lukemader]

Power

[woa11]

nvm.. at first part he did look naked

[magictrickz]

is this someone spying on him or does he know hes bein filmed

[tobysandeman]

the person is spying lol i told him it was up here and he laughed though said he was not surprised as people always spied.

[tnsandland]

Just shows what some ephedrine & nandralone can do for you. Cheating negro.

[gibrones]

you're through, sucker.

[kevino999]

epinephrine

and also

its now allowed 2day 2 b in ur system. jus at body weight ratio doses

Asshole

[tnsandland]

Who are you calling an asshole, you gay prick? And why would you want to defend a PROVEN drugs cheat anyway?! Idiot. LOL. 'Epinephrine', is adrenaline you little insignificant tosser. It is produced naturally by the body. Ephedrine is banned in just about ALL sports. Also, make more sense in your email next time. Illiterate twat.

[kevino999]

err earth to glasgow working class dumb fuckface

-epinephrine-ALLOWED in ALL sports. coz it has many uses including medicinal.

no comeback 2 dat u poor fucker.

[tnsandland]

Err, thicko tosser, you have all the argument skills of a retard. Have you considered for one moment that my profile page is MADE UP? You stupid cunt. Also, whilst I may not be from Scotland (or working class for that matter), does it make any difference what 'class' somebody is?! It's usually the working class who can't spell... I see A LOT of bad grammar & spelling in your messages... YOU THICK WORKING CLASS PRICK. Looking forward to your banal reply!! LOL!!

[tnsandland]

"coz it has many uses including medicinal"

Other than 'medicinal', what, exactly, do you think it's used for... cleaning his shoes? Washing his hair? Jesus, I've just got into a battle of wits with an unarmed boy. Stupid twat.

[FarbmeisterGeneral]

good vid...good training

[floppel]

I used to do that first exercise, but with hurdles closer together and no sprinting after the last one. The one legged jumps are really sick though...

[azertyuiop32]

those one legged jumps look like a real killer

[WelshBoa]

Thats Nandrolone for you

[bluejeans88]

learntoplayy, you don't know jack shit. You try doing a single leg hurdle 4 times over and then sprint afterwards. He don't have no jumoping power my ass....

[noxteryn]

So beautiful...

[mistaxs]

would beat the average man on one leg!

[jumpscoach214]

crazy speed, but I was expecting a little more vertical power for someone like this, and it seems like his ground contacts were pretty high for a sprinter.....guess it can't be hurting him though. cool vid though.

[learntoplayy]

Not very much jumping power in those legs, but damn he is explosive after the last hurdle!

[maluna94]

i saw linford christie today with mark lewis francis, they were holding the street athletics event and they were very funny.i raced linford and i was winning him but then he just dipped.

[yid80]

Shit thats a good effort mate, I hear he's still moving pretty well!

[IrOnMiKe151]

yeh, im sure

[discgolfer550]

I wonder what in part of his training cycle he was doing this???

[loewen23]

look at that explosion after the last hurdle. amazing

[nmit0623]

Wow that guys has some serious explosiveness and balance!!

[watershipdown69]

pauroso

[LongOnAllFronts]

Could do that with my hands tied behind my back. No sweat.

[R0L0L0L0]

You wish.

[R0L0L0L0]

Sorry.. I wasn't meaning to be rude. God bless you.

[ebotjones]

^homeboy had it down...damn...i wish i could jump like that

[adarqui]

sick video!!!!!!!
